C, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1918 $1.00 PER YEAR EVIL DAYS FOR THE LOAFERS Should Be No Mercy for Tramps and Poolroom Sports in Canada The loafers and merely nominal workers of the North American continent have fallen upon evil days. Both in Gananda and the United States the law has now set its face severely against them. On July 1 the United States iederal order,"as drawn up by Provost Marshal Enoch Crowder, went in effect. All men of draft age, that is, between the ages of eighteen and fifty, have now to be engaged in some productive employment or get into the army. This federal order is being re-enforced by anti-loafing laws enacted by the state legislatures. The provost marshal has defined productive and non-productive occupations, and there is no escape for those who can not be classed among the productive workers if they are of draft age. Non-productive occupations in the United States arede fined as follows: First���������Persons engaged in the serving of food or drink, or either,in "public places, including hotels and social clubs. Second���������Passenger elevator operators, attendants, doormen, footmen, carriage openers and other attendants in club-:, hotels, stores, opera houses, office buildings and bath houses. ��������� Third���������Persons, including ushers and other attendants, engaged and occupied in connection with games, sports and amusements, except actual performers in legitimate concerts, operas and theatrical performers. Fourth���������Persons employed in domestic service. Fifth���������Sales clerks and other clerks employed in stores and other mercantile establishments. If a man of draft age registered in due course and waiting his selection for tha draft be not employed in productive occapation, or if he be idle partially or completely, he must hold himself on immediate call for the army. The regulation is applicable to idle registrants, to gamblers of all descriptions and employees of race tracks and bucket shops, to fortune tellers, clairvoyants, palmists and people of such vocations. If the board of appeal so judge, idlers may have their deferred classification withdrawn and their names will be reported to tbe adjutant general of the state for military service. The only excuses for idleness and nonproductive employment on the part of a man of military age are set down as sickness, reasonable vacation, lack of reasonable opportunity for employment,temporary absences from regular employment, not to exceed one week, unless such are habitual and frequent or domestic circumstances involving hardship to dependants if a change of employment were ordered, or where such change would necessitate night work on the part of women under unsuitable conditions. sheriffs, state po ice, district attorney magistrates, other officers of the law, and the state industrial commission, under the state anti loafin legislation, are combined to enforce the federal order and assign men where necessary to jobs of ������ productive character. It is estimated that 1,000,000 will change their employment as the result of this order of Gen. Enoch Crowder. It is pointed out, hovvever,that no man should give up his present employment, even though of the ^non-productive class, until he has either procured work at an essential industry or such work as has been procured for him, as it is recognized tbat a man employed at non-essential' work is better than a man not employed at all. Canada's anti-loafing law has been in operation since early in April, and every male person over sixteen and under sixty years of age, unless a bona fide student, or physically unfit, or personally unable to find employment, must be engaged in some useful occupation. In Canada the most essential in dustry at the present time is agricultural. Food production iB a neces sity of the summer of 1918, and the saving of the harvest is the necessity of the present moment. More than 65,000 able bodied men, in addition to the men already employed on the land, such as the Soldiers of the Soil and the boys and women of other organiza'tions, will be needed to save the crops this season. There is no room for loafers; no time for idlers, and there should be no mercy for tramps and mere pool room sports. CANADA'S PART IN GREAT WA!

Fifty cannon had been counted and thousands of machine guns. Northwest of'Chateau Thierry the Americans captured large numbers of prisoners and an equally important quantity of munitions and stores. The captures south of Soissons in the way of stores wers immense and included some airplanes, which the enemy was unable to move, so swiftly did the storming troops sweep through. Many prisoners and many guns still remain to be counted. The American troops had carried all before them by late in the afternoon, and had proceeded so fast that cavalry was thrown into the action. All the American bead qu&rters staff tonight were well inside the territory which the Germans had this morning. Great lumbering tanks rolled along in front of the dense mass of the victorious troops, who let noth ing them in their push ahead. They not only reached their objec tives, but passed them.

Loxdon, Jnly 14-.���������In the course of his speech at the dinner to the Can adian newspaper men last night, Pre rnier Lloyd George said: "I welcome you on behalf of the government because you are representatives first of all of a very great country. 1 never realized until I went to Canada how greot a country it was. There was nothing more deceptive than the map. It seemed to be so small, but when I arrived there I realized what a gigantic country ifc was, not merely because it was a country whose shores were lapped by three great oceans, but be cause it was a country of infinite resources and possibilities. I confess that had I not seen the country I could nob have said this. "It gave my a glimpse of the im mense future before the country, with its infinite variety of resources and weather. (Laughter.) I got there in September, I remember. I got as far as Ed monton,. because -there was a blizzard sometime in December. (Laughter.) : >,> "But that it was a climate to pro duce a great and. vigorous race I real ized and then felt in.stinctly that Canada would one day play a very great part in the history of the world. I did not realize how soon that time- would come It has come and sooner than any of us expected. "I won't say that it was the begin ning of Canada's history, because you had history before, but it is the first time you have been projected on the CBnvas of the world. I remember the begiuning well. 1 remember we were trying to get up an army in oder to fight what we believed was a battle of international right and liberty, because, believe me, on my conscience, we had no other thought when we entered this war. (Cheers.) "Where should we turn first for help but to our own people. They saw we were hard pressed and that our armies were being driven back by overwhelming forces. "We looked to the west toCanada. There was no need to say come and help. "Canada sent a wonderful offer, even before war was declared. They sent in six months a whole division, aud that division in nine months was covered with undying glory. "Believe me, that was tho beginning of the world history of Canada. It was a thrilling deed, that story of your first division. "I remember sitting in the war- cabinet and the news coming that the Germans had attacked with poison gas. We thought that was outside the possibilities of even German warfare. "The next thing we heard was the story of the first Canadrau division, how they restored the situation. "This is the great event of your history. It will go down forever. Its pictures, its accounts and its descriptions will lire forever,until tho Rocky mountains roll into the sea. It was the Germans were thwarted in efforts to secure ports which, if they had succeeded in securing, would have turned the whole current of tho war. "Therafore we owe a debt of gratitude for the part you took in that operation. It was not merely its effect on the country,- it was the effect on Europe. It was exactly as if a sturdy young nation for the first time had leapt' into world dominion. "Since then Canada has played a great part in the war. That game first division was followed b}'a second, the second by a third and the third by a fourth division. I do not mind telling you we were full of anxiety. We knew perfectly well how. the German legions were equipped and preparing, but I will tell you this, I only just left the commander in chief of the British forces a short time ago. He was telling me of the gigantic preparations going on behind the lines. (Cheers.) "That is part of your national pride. It is part of ours You help not only in the fighting line, but in the most gigantic production of the war. '"I was amazed to hear today a remarkable statement made by the minister of munitions, if I may give away one secret. He gave an account of munition production in Canada. Premier Borden was there. He told us Canadu, since the beginning of the Mills Require But a Few Hundred Dollars Working Capital war, had manufactured���������how many shells do you imagine1?

Demigods of the Air "chasing pi- The ordeals that the lots''- attached to the aviation corps of the British forces at the front have to undergo before they are considered as proficient in their perilous work are sufficiently trying to test the nerve of the bravest flyer. As-an army corre spondent of the Philadelphia Public Ledger puts it, the candidate who passes the required course of aerial gymnastics must either be all nerve or possess no nerves at all. At this school, he says, you will see an aeroplane, thousands of feet aloft, suddenly fling its nose up aud begin to climb ^vertically, ps if the pilot intended to loop the loop. Suddenly it pauses, and remains for perhaps a full minute poised perpendicu larly on its tail. Then, with the engine switched off, it falls helplessly, tail first, spinning giddily ronud and round in a way that resembles the helpless flutter of a falling leaf. Then suddenly the engine roars again, the twisting, fluttering, dead thing be conies instinct with life, rights itself majestically on flashing pinions, swoops down in swift and headlong course, mounts the wind and soars up and up, as light and graceful as any bird. Other nerve shattering things they do, these soaring young demigods of the air���������feats that seem uothing short of miraculous to the earth-bouud ones who stand gazing upward in awe. Canada has been called the granary of the empire, but no one seem to have thought of giving her the appellation, "the cellar of the empire." And yet the potato cellar may be made a very real counterpart of the granary. Owing to the great development of the war garden idea, thousands of people are growing potatoes who, before the war, relied entirely on supplies from the farms. There is thus every reason to suppose that potatoes will be much more plentiful this year than evor before. Why not convert as .large a proportion as possible into potato flour? Potato flour mills require but a few- hundred dollars of working capital; the machinery required is of the simplest and the resulting product is a wholesome, nourishing food. Potato flour has been used extensively in Britain, especially during the paat year. A mill in the state, of Washington produces 25 to 30 barrels a da} and sold its product during the month of April for.$21 a barrel. Certain starch companies in Canada are also making it, but the business is capable of very considerable expansion. According to Mr. Meeker, an' American potato ilour manufacturer of long experience, a ton of potatoes will produce 500 pounds of flour. The process he describes is. a simple one. "First, the potatoes are washed clean and then sliced with the peelings on and dropped immediately into water to rinse them and to prevent discoloration. Then, as soon as practicable, they are either parboiled or steamed for eight or ten minutes, when the starch will be cooked and the slices will become transparent. The cooked slices are then transferred to a drier and, for the first few hours, are subjected to a current of hot air not hotter than 120 deg. F., after which the temporature is gradually increased to 170 deg., but no hotter. The drying process is continued until the slices are brittle, though It is immaterial if a few here and there are not thoroughly dried. They are then taken from the kiln and placed in piles in a room where they can be well stirred at intervals for three or four days, after which they may be ground into flour. "A revolving washer���������a long box partially submerged in water aud capable of washing a ton of potatoes an hour���������can be built cheaply. An ordinary root cutter costing about 830 will answer for slicing the potatoes, but it is probable that a more desirable machine might be found on the market, The average mill will co-it from 8150 to $225 and up, but at present can not be obtained on short Nearly all tht; Fall wheat in valley has been harvested during tbe present week.

Potatoes,are also classed as a substitute for wheat flour, in proportion of four pound's of potatoes to one pound of other substitutes mentioned on account of the higher percentage of water in potatoes. A large number of millers are ready with these different flours, and as soon as the public demand calls for them they will be distributed throughout the trade, and are now. procurable by dealers. There has been some talk about the price of substitutes being too high in proportion to flour, but it is expected that this condition will remedy itself as the new flours get into gen- <r FlilDAY, JULY 10,. 1.918 The Germans' fifth and most ambitious drive has apparently ended in inglorious defeat. At last accounts the French and American troops had the Hun on the run in the direction of the Rhine. There is not likely to be another German drive on the western front. Hereafter the allies will do the driving. 1 ^ These are times when every ounce of efficiency we are capable of producing should be mobilized for the purpose of accomplishing the most in tbe least possible time.

We will be pleased to show you the advantages of these Lenses. JEWELER AND OPTICIAN GRAND FORKS, B. G. J A London critic gives as one of the chief causes of the failure of the fifth drive the great improvement in the allies' intelligence work since the previous enemy effort. This is due largely to the Steadily growing aerial superiority, rendering even partial suprise impossible. Even if the offensive had been merely checked instead of definitely held, it would still have been considered a defeat, because despite the most lengthy and most elaborate preparations none of their objectives were achieved by the Germans. It is now realized this was intended for the great est offensive yet launched. A few months ago there was an agitation among the ranchers of this valley for the establishment of a potato flour mill at this point, and resolutions were adopted asking the Canada food board to encourage, or assist, such an industry. This week we print an article on this subject. ' The article was prepared by the Canada Conservation Commission, and the figures given in it may therefore be relied on as being reasonably accurate. It will be noticed that the capital required to establish a'potato flour mill is not very high; in fact, we believe almost any rancher in the valley could finance such an industry. But if it would be too much of a financial strain for one man, two or three men could cooperate in the undertaking. If there is a partial failure of the wheat crop this year, we believe that a potato flour mill would be a paying investment from the start, because the potato crop promises to be unusually large this year. The cannery building would make a splendid housing for the mill, and all that would be required to start the industry would be a few hundred dollars for machinerv. eral circulation throughout the trade. In the case of corn meal, the price has advanced for corn in Chicago on account of market conditions. ' Canadian pullers were depending -on American corn and advanced the'price of corn meal accordingly on all new contracts. It is not expected that this market condition will continue, however, as there has been plenty of corn in the United States since last harvest, "although difficulty of distribution arose through lack of sufficient transportation facilities and similar causes. With*the 1918 crop in ���������"prospect, it is expected that there willbe a still more plentiful supply for the coming season. It may be necessary to experiment with these substitute��������� flours a few times before succeeding in producing a satisfactory loaf, and opportunity should be taken to study, the effect of these ������������������substitutes and the different methods of mixing, handling, fermenting and "proofing" of the doughs. As most of the wheat flour substitutes accelerate the fermentation, it will be better not to work the dough as long as usual. About four hours for fermentation will be sufficient in a room of moderate temperature, divided as.follows: Two hours 45 minutes for the first punch, 45 minutes for the second punch; 30 minutes is allowed before the dough is finally taken out, kneaded and cut into loaves. After being, set in the pan, 45 minutes is enough for "proofing," when it is ready for the oven. When corn meal, oat meal or other meal is used the moisture-retaining qualities of the loaf may be improved by scalding these in- gredieuts at a temperature of 150 deg. F. and allowing two hours for cooling. Most of the wheat flour substitutes retain the moisture'in the loaf longer than will the wheat flour and yield an increased amount of bread on account of their higher absorption of water, thus reducing the amount of veast and shortening necessary. The following are a few of the recipes recommended to bakers. They will be useful also in private households when substitutes are to be mixed with wheat'flour for bread: Corn .Flour Bread���������c2!j pounds standard flour, j? pound corn flour, 1 tablespoon brown Canada's now wheat crop will not roach the|sliy{U'> - tablespoons salt, J- oz, yeast, 1 table- consuming public as flour for three months at|sPoon ^ :j cups of water.

COLUMBIA J*JS COMPANY., Molly Gibson Mine Has Lar<������e Ore Bodies and Good Prospects Development work is being carried out at the Molly Gibson mine in Burnt Basin with the object of tapping the ore body, from below and fa cilitating shipments. A force of men under A. L Houston, the. well known mining man, who has been engaged in the industry in Rossland and the Lardeau and other districts of tlie province for twenty-four years, is now driving a tunuel about 160 feet below the upper workings ' Ore which has b e 1 shipped from the property was taken out through a shaft and operations were consequently expensive. ' The new tunnel will get in below this ore body and enable the rock to be stoped down and taken out by gravity, thus reducing considerably the cost of operation, says the Nelson News. The new workings will tap the ore body, it is estimated, at a depth of about 90 feet below the collar of the shaft. It is expected that an additional '70 feet will have to be driven fco corn j plete the tunnel, upon which work is ' now being carried out. From the end I of the tunnel an upraise will be run to the bottom of the shaft 1 Two shifts are being worked on the tunnel in order to push forward the work as speedily as possible.. The management of tho Molly Gib son has been also carrying out some surface work, a new cookhouse to give a cookhouse separate from the bunRhou.se' having just been completed. Reports which have been made upon the Molly Gibson by geologists call attention to the easy accessibility of the property, both by rail and wagon road, aud the close proximity to smelter facilities, together with the indicated tonnage of high grade gold ores which can be mined at a very low cost. Those who are interested in the property believe that it is destined to become one of the big gold-producing, mines of British Columbia within a very short time. . There are two well defined veins on Ihe Molly Gibson. On the east vein there are several shallow pits and surface trenches which show the con tinuity of the vein for about 1500 feet. On the second or main vein the de velopment consists of a shaft, a tunnel'arid a-number of open cuts and trenches which prove the continuity of ihe vein for a distance of 3000 feet along the strike The vein at the bottom of the shaft has been proved to be about ten feet wide and to average at least $14 in gold aud two ounces in silver. Ore has been shipped to the Trail and Granby smelters in order to establish these values. A shipment1 of ore to the Trail smelter yielded $22,76 per ton in gold and silver. A 50 pound sample from the upper- tunnel was shipped to the Granby smelter and yielded in copper 94 cents, silver 80 cents, and gold $21 60. mak ing total values of $23.-3.4 per ton. A 50-pound sample from the shaft was shipped to the Granby smelter and yielded in copper 90 cents, silver 30 cents and gold $17.60, making a total of $18.84. Twenty-six assays made by the Con solidated Mining& Smelting Company of Canada give an average value of $22.80 per ton. These samples were taken by mining engineers and mina operators and came from all over the property to ascertain the average value of the ore. "? Thirty samples taken from differ ent places on the property and assayed by E. W. Widdowson, proviucial assayer of Nelson, shows an average value of $16.35 per ton. The Molly Gibson is located 32 miles from Granby smelter, 56 miles from Trail, and 55 miles from Greeu (Continued on Page 4-) SYNOPSIS OF No matter for what reason you choose your automobile this year, you will make your selection of ==.DUNLOP TIRES = "Traction," "Special," or "Plain," for one reason���������the testimony on every hand that they meet every Wish in the motorist's mind��������� -��������������������������������������������� ��������� ' '���������" ' ���������' i ���������mm ii m i .in. .in ������������������ i ������������������|i|>lni,iii npin Economy, Efficiency, Mileage, DunlopTire <&, Rubber Goods Co., Limited Head Office and!

The scope of this Act is enlarged to include all persons joining and .serving with His Majesty's Forces. The time within which the heirs or devisees of a deceased pre-emptor may apply for title under this Act is extended from one year from the death of such person, as formerly, until one year after the conclusion of the present war. This privilege Is also made retroactive. TOWNSITE PROPERTY ALLOTMENT ACT. Provision is made for the grant to persons holding uncompleted Agreements to Purchase from the Crown of such proportion of the land, if divisible, as the payments already made will cover in proportion to the sale price of the whole parcel. Two or more persons holding such Agreements may group their interests and apply for a proportionate allotment Jointly. . If It is not considered advisable to divide the land covered by an application for a proportionate allotment, an allotment of land of equal value selected from available Crown lands In the locality may be made. These allotments are conditional upon payment of all taxes due the Crown or to any municipality. The rights of persons to whom the purchaser from the Crown has agreed to sell are also protected. The decision of the Minister of Lands in respect to the adjustment of a proportionate allotment Is final. The time for making application for these allotments is limited to the 1st day of May, 1910. Any application made after this date will not be considered. These allotments apply to town lots and lands of the Crown sold at public auction.
